The local Sheriff needs to go in and arrest Mayor Daley and all those involved in introducing this type of legislation, that clearly is an attempt to ignore the Supreme Court's ruling. Now that the ruling has been made, they need to give up on it, or be considered traitors to America and properly executed.

I love how one of their arguments is that a kid was shot while shielding a friend on a city bus. If Chicago residents were allowed to be armed, someone on that bus probably would have had a gun and may very well have shot the armed thug. Chicago can keep their residents from having guns, but they can't keep the criminals in the city from having guns. Lovely.

They ignore simple logic, piles of individual cases, and copious amounts of statistical data that proves their side is wrong... all for the sake of an emotional ideology that gives power to the criminals and to the government.

When I left the tourist area of Chicago the other week (tourist area=heavily patroled by armed cops) and entered the "real" Chicago, I've never felt so unsafe in my life as I did there. And I've been in some very shitty parts of Atlanta (unarmed there too).

The only thing that keeps Chicago afloat is their name. Other than that there is no other reason to be there or do business with Chicago. I'd rather be in Milwaukee if I had to be in that part of the country.

I'd also pay $100 to watch Daley walk through his gun free city at night by himself with no body guards (or guns) or cops. Fucking tool.

If you went just outside the loop, you weren't in the "real" Chicago. You were in the projects.

This may come as a big shock to you, but most cities have them and none of them are nice places to be.

I lived in Chicago for 6 years and if it weren't for the long cold winters, I still would.

Oh, so you mean they're just like my ex and all her irrational, emotional arguments as to why she should have my daughter more than I have her? That bitch has no concept of logic or reasoning. Jack Nicholson's character in "As Good As It Gets" was spot on with his comment as to how he writes women so well.

"First, I start with a man, then take away all reason and accountability"...describes my ex's thinking ability to a T.
